(E - then Stelrein is going to go do something else)
Stelrein goes to Yairn and Scim, "You should probably help Cedric and Mao searching the new room."
Stelrein goes to the sleeping room. He gathers whatever blanket pieces he can find and tries to fashin as many satchels as possible to carry food.
He then goes to the store room and fills up the satchels.
(E - how many satchels can he make and how much food can be put in each? Roughly how long would each satchel of food last for how many people?)

StelreinI'm not THAT evil. You can find enough food to keep everyone happy for the rest of the adventure plus a bit. Unless you spend months in the corridor, obviously

After a moment of listening and waiting for any reaction, Cedric takes out a light globe and holds it up.
He turns his head towards Mao - she seems to be as astonished as himself. The room is large - he motions Mao to also raise a light for increased effect.
The room is indeed large, though seemingly not quite as huge as the awakening room, but definitely larger than the lights can reach.
Large crystal tubes, about seven foot high and three foot in diameter, that rest in metal rings in the floor, are spaced evenly along the walls, the nearest being right next to where Cedric stands. Each tube is open at the top, and filled with a strangely bubbling liquid that is clear but very slightly tinged with green. The liquid swirls slowly around in the tube, like an animal imprisoned in a cage, relentlessly looking for an exit to escape.
Cedric touches the tube next to him {E - temperature? vibrations? reactions?} and looks over to Mao. Unconsciously he whispers, when asking her "Did you ever see something like this? - The only thing I can say is, this is not an ale brewery!"

Cedric
The glass vibrates very slightly, though there is no visible sign of movement,. Neither it nor the liquid within reacts at all to you.
The glass is warm to the touch, but pleasantly so. You estimate it is only a little below your body temperature.
You have never seen glass of this high quality before.

Mao takes off her bola to have more light and approaches from the tube that Cedric stands near, perplexed. She touches it too to discover that it's pretty warm at the touch and it vibrates slightly. She tries to detect any smell as well. Suddenly she remembers that she used to prepare various decoctions... Yes... she has some knowledge of alchemy... but she sure had never seen anything such. "Don't think I've ever seen a such thing either... and I know I had some knowledge of alchemy." she answers to Cedric. "I wonder what's the purpose of all this..." (Elliot, could she make a link somewhat with the liquid and one of the "medicines" she knows? (even if the link is only that she sure had never seen anything such )) She examines the metal ring supporting the tube to try to determinate if the heat and vibrations come from it or from the liquid itself. She also examines the metal itself. (Elliot, does the liquid glow or brew? Does it seem thick, is it homogeneous?) Once she's done with the tube, she takes her bola up to provide more light, checks that Cedric has not foound anything else and is ready to investigate further, and she advances slowly to discover more of the room. (Elliot... ?)

Mao
The metal ring seems to sink into the floor, so there is probably more of it below the level you can see. It is definitely hotter than the glass, though not so hot as to be dangerous. It is quite possibly the source of the heat. The ring also vibrates, though less than the glass.
The liquid does not glow, but the way it moves means it must be pretty syrupy. It's like nothing you've ever heard of in alchemy, but you're certain it's no kind of potion. From the look of it, you can't even tell what went into making it. There are no obvious impurities or bits of anything floating in it.
Investigating the room further, you find it is fifty feet square, with the door you came in by in the centre of one wall. There are 15 of the tubes spaced evenly around the walls, none looking any different to any other. There seems to be nothing else of any interest in the room.

(Elliot, the tubes are disposed along the walls, so there's nothing in the center of the room? And is there any smell coming from the tubes?)
"These tubes must have some functionality; just like that, I don't see how one could work with it anyhow..." Mao whispers as she approaches from one of the tubes. Once there she searches carefully for devices, buttons or whatever they could have missed.
"The metal bases sink on the floor and they're likely to be the source or conductor of the heat... Maybe is there something under this room?" she adds, examinating the floor. She examinates the walls and ceiling as well in search of a clue. (E, what does she see/feel?)
"Its weird that the room is cooler and the air fresher than elsewhere even with the tubes heating," she says, not realizing that she speaks her thoughts out loud.

Mao
There is nothing in the centre of the room, though you notice that it is cooler there than it is closer to the tubes. If there is anything beneath the room, you find no way to access whatever it is. There are no devices or buttons or anything else you have missed.
There is a faint smell if you get close enough to the tube. You're not sure quite what it is, though.

Like Mao, Cedric had been investigating the tubes, though with no differing results.
15 tubes, spaced out over three walls - Cedric stands in the middle of the room. He has the impression of it being slightly cooler than next to the tubes. He unconsciously licks his finger and sticks it out to feel the slightest breeze {Elliot?} and quizzically looks at the ceiling and the wall with the door, the only one not aligned with tubes. {?}

Cedric
There is a very, very faint air movement flowing out from the centre of the room in all directions. It takes a moment to detect, even with wetted finger. It seems to originate about five feet above the floor - which is about half way to the ceiling.
The ceiling itself is set with a grid of dead globes, each roughly five feet from the next. This room would have been very well illuminated if they were all lit.
There seems to be nothing unusual about the door or the wall around it.

Seeing that Cedric seems to have noticed something like a breeze, Mao goes at the door and closes it. "Does it make any difference?" she asks him.

Cedric & MaoIt makes no difference to the breeze whether the door is open or closed

"No, apparently not," answers Cedric shaking his head, "A very slight air flow seems to come from up there..." He points to the middle of the room, approximately 5 feet above the floor. "...though I can't make out an exact origin. And if those globes up there were active, it would be quite bright in here.""

"But... it can't come from nowhere," Mao says, puzzled, as she re-opens the door and goes to join Cedric towards the center of the room.
(Elliot; can they say if the airflow is caused by the difference of temperature that the heating tubes disposed all around the room make with the middle of the room, as there are none there?)
*If not, Mao asks Cedric to lift her up to check the ceiling and sense the air movement up there (in the middle of the room, where the air flow spreads in all directions)*

Mao
Doesn't seem to be caused by any kind of convection, no... It's almost as though it is just appearing out of nowhere...

Homm squats with a pout on his face as the button has yet to be pushed. he is very interested in the middle passageway door but the button compels him to stay put.

"That would... would be great." Ciara smiles at the woman. "My name... its, its Ciara."
She stands back as Loriana picks up her blanket. "Do you know why I'm here? I'm so confused... I dont even remember where I was"

Loriana shakes her head as she begins to tear up the fabric to form a shift-like dress and a belt to hold it together, "None of us know why we're here. None of us know each other, we're all strangers. But we're trying to work together to get out of here, as well as to regain our memories." she smiles reassuringly at Ciara, "The others in the group seem pretty nice. A few are unpredictable, but I don't think they mean any harm." Loriana wonders how much she should tell Ciara. She doesn't want to overwhelm the confused woman. She decided to wait a bit to talk about Zumir, "Are you hungry Ciara? We just found a room with some basic traveling food. It doesn't taste so great, and there's only ale to drink, but it's better than nothing. I could get some for you while you put this on," she hands Ciara a really crude-looking dress and belt. She frowns at her handiwork, "Sorry, it's not better..."

After Stelrein completes the three traveling packs, he begins examining his own body. Stelrein thinks - if I am indeed a soldier, I would have scars from battles or encounters, and perhaps seeing them may jog my memory.
(E - does Stelrein find any scars, and would that jog his memory much?)

Stelrein
You remember you SHOULD have scars. You were in enough fights. But... Somehow, you can't seem to find any...
